Catholic youth come 'Alive' at the Mount

More than 500 Catholic youth attended the 'Alive in You' at College of Mount St. Joseph. Part of the camp was performing community service.

More than 500 Catholic youth from 11 states were at the College of Mount St. Joseph in July for "Alive in You," one of five nationwide camps designed to educate and motivate teens and give them an opportunity to meet new people, do community service and learn more about their faith.

The youth worked with more than 40 different agencies throughout the Tri-state and did projects including visiting people with severe disabilities, cleanup and painting projects at Catholic schools, gardening, and working in soup kitchens and food pantries.

"We helped religious communities, county parks, historical societies, farms, and even individual home owners," said Wayne Topp with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati who organized the community service. "It is truly remarkable all the work that was done in those three days."

The students also had a chance to unwind with two bands that traveled to the Mount for the camp. Ayleron is a Catholic band from Lafayette, La. and served as the house band the entire week. Christian rock artist Matt Maher and his band performed one evening as well.
